Is law enforced Police active? If every irregularity observed and dealt on time even with VIP' s including other Police staffs, then it is commendable!

WELL DONE POLICE

Some people who get popular among the no bodys...............think no end of themselves.

Max Tuesday, 28 August 2012 10:21 AM

doesnt matter who gets arrested for what.. if proven guilty.. will justice be served? or being a singer.. will he get out without any fuss like our politicians? thats what we should be concerned about.

kingasanga Tuesday, 28 August 2012 10:27 AM

he must understand LAW did not dance according to his SONGS.

Game Over Tuesday, 28 August 2012 10:16 AM

Hope the same will be enforced on all including ministers who think they OWN the roads.

Dee Tuesday, 28 August 2012 10:40 AM

Who is he? Police has not done a big thing here, There are people who stop in the middle of the road and talk to people and in front of city traffic, nothing is done, people, lets not make a mountain of a molehill, many things to be put right in SL

Dee Tuesday, 28 August 2012 10:41 AM

low?...ayyo mallie..I know the LAW

Shaik Ahamath Tuesday, 28 August 2012 11:30 AM

You people are quick to judge Amal Perera as an idiot based solely on what one side has told you. To be fair you should listen to his side of the story and then, if so inclined, judge. Otherwise keep your trap shut.

Siripala Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:55 AM

Amal Perera ? .... Who is she ????....

Anj Tuesday, 28 August 2012 12:11 PM

Vas Tuesday, 28 August 2012 05:18 PM

Ayyo Why arrest this poor Singer when there are rapists murderers commiting much more serious crimes. The stupid policemen dont prioritise their work and waste time on stupid petty crimes.

Nero Tuesday, 28 August 2012 05:45 PM

Thank you Sir and Madam for the singers of my time such as CT, Amaradeva, Paul Fernando, MS Fernando, Nila Wicramasinghe etc. I bow my head to these great artist. Thank You!

Anyone who uses the public roads should abide by the law of the country. If not he/they should be severely dealt with.

deanna Wednesday, 29 August 2012 04:35 AM

Deen Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:06 AM

Very unfortunate that he apparently does not have the right connection. If he had the right connection Police would have ignored this offence.

willows Tuesday, 28 August 2012 07:26 AM

good lesson for every one thinks, that they are above the law???

raju Tuesday, 28 August 2012 07:42 AM

Good lesson for shallow-minded, uppish people who think they are very popular and therefore above the law.

Tell him that he is also one of Sri Lankan citizen and need to respect traffic laws.Mad attitude

Al Rasa Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:16 AM

He is disgracing his father Mervin Perera a legendary singer.

Tamil Prof Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:16 AM

"podiyan" has made a mistake, now this isn't something 'new'. I'd only appreciate if the police had the same guts to arrest sons of ministers who do the same or even worse things. That would never happen.

ratnasiri Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:39 AM

well done police apply the low equally

Amal Tuesday, 28 August 2012 08:32 AM

Why are you hurry to blame him? Who knows exactly what happened there? We know our Police as well.
